don't mean to be a (french) grammar nazi, but it's spelled "voilà"

"voila" (without the accent) would be perfectly acceptable as well.

sorry! :)



"don't mean to be a (french) grammar nazi"

Would that be a grammar Vichy?

"it's spelled "voilà"

Right. The dash was in there to emphasize mispronunciation of a mis-spelled word, to indicate mock astonishment in context.

Thanks. :)


Yeah, "viola" is a small musical instrument.
